I am bringing back a 73 2.0L Djetronic 914 with the Charcoal canister beside the gas tank. I am also relocating the fuel pump below the gas tank.
Do you really need the charcoal filter? Also the gas vapor gas / expansion tank also seems worthless. Anyone an expert on this subject? Can you just plug some of these vapor lines and not effect the engine running? I think emissions are exempt on this year car. I would like to make this as simple as possible. Thanks |

good thing he opened it up then.
someone must have been in there before Van B and screwed it up? got me worried - pulled my old air filter out of the box i kept it in after i put a new one in. looked between the pleats - could not find anything - phew. that charcoal can feeds in above the filter. |
